You'd assume yes, otherwise they wouldn't bloody bother!

I think it's great so many clubs get involved with local charities in this way. Can only be a positive for all parties really.

600 replicas for sale with £10 each going to the charity plus I'd presume they'll auction off the playing shirts, not bad really.

Not only money but it's also raising awareness for a great cause. The fact we are talking about it means part of the job of the shirt has been done without anyone even buying one!

is it just nobody wanted to sponsor them??

All the cricket fans in the CEO's little black book had already spent their money on cricket...at which stage, he blamed the teams performance for having no shirt sponsor...........the club is being run by idiots is the answer.

This is far more important to charities than a few grand.

The Wigan one is pretty crap. I realise it is based on Jack's t-shirt but as a Rugby League shirt it's terrible. A much better design, imo, would have been a more plain shirt with a chevron made out of a big version of the JJ, one J red, the other black.
